A member asked:
For a person who has uti, what is advisable , acidic or alkalinic? i've read that if its acidic then it can help minimize the bacteria , what's yours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UTI and Acidity: Having an acidic urine will retard the growth of bacteria. You can acidify your urine by taking vit. C. It is better to stop any practices that may promote your getting a UTI rather than acidifying your urine.
